Do you have students who have passed portions of the GED test, but not all?
Or, have some taken the entire test, but don’t have the minimum overall score? Maybe they have not been able to get a passing score on the essay. Whatever the situation, you and those students are feeling very stressed because time is running out! There are only
six months left until the
2014 GED test arrives, at which time any prior progress made towards attainment will evaporate!
But don’t worry... I have some suggestions to help your students raise their scores to the magic number needed to pass:
1. Give the student an up-to-date
basic skills test to:
